Windows 10: Sandboxie 5.28 has been released

Sandboxie 5.28 has been released. If you like to try a full blown Sandbox program, Sandboxie is the one. Its been around since 2004. This is a mature program designed for Windows that does what is supposed to do (keep the system intact). Unlike the Windows sandbox, in this program, by default, nothing is saved out of the sandbox. But it has settings available to allow the user to save downloads, bookmarks, etc. To maximize isolation, you create separate sandboxes for different programs, etc.There are a lot of things users can do to relax or tighten the sandbox with SBIE. Things we wont be able to do with the Windows sandbox. What I do personally is strike a balance between usability and security in my sandboxes, with the result of being as secure as I can be without losing any usability, thats what I achieve. If you like to try it, there is a free version with no expiration date. The difference in the free and paid versions are features, features that are unlocked when you register your version of SBIE. This are the fixes and changes in Version 5.28.

Version 5.28

Released on 15 February 2019.

Added support for Windows 10 v1809.

Fixed issues with Adobe Acrobat Pro and Reader 2019 related to the "Save As" dialog displaying blank .

Keyscrambler and Sandboxie

Hope it helps, it did me.

My default browser is Chrome, but I do use Firefox and IE.

I am sure that the Sandboxie configuration fix is exclusive to Keyscrambler and does not include any browser reference. It worked immediately with Sandboxied Chrome, Firefox and IE.

So it should work OK with any other browser that Sandboxie is compatible for use with.

It may be that this fix is only needed when Sandboxie is already installed and KS is added afterwards. If KS is already installed and Sandboxie is added afterwards, then the Sandboxie installation wizard should pick up KS as an inherent program and include it in the configuration list. If so, this fix would not be needed.

 

Sandboxie

Since changing to Microsoft 10, I am unable to use sandboxie. Any advice?

 

Keyscrambler and Sandboxie

Many users including me have found that the new version of Keyscrambler Personal - Free edition 3.1.0.0 for IE, Firefox and now Chrome does not work when the browsers are opened with Sandboxie. This easy fix is how to cure the problem.

Download Keyscrambler Personal - Free to your Desktop from Download KeyScrambler or some other reputable site. Do not download with a Sandboxied browser.

Go through the wizard and select your preferences. I suggest you choose the tray icon and for the program to start with Windows opening. You will have to reboot when finished.

KS will then work perfectly with IE, Firefox and Chrome unsandboxied, but will not work with the browsers Sandboxied.

Now follow this :-

Open Sandboxie Control. Then -
Sandbox>Defaultbox>Sandbox Settings>Resourse Access-expand>IPC Access-expand>Direct Access>ADD (2 items) as under.

In panel Add Resource Name - add both these in turn, copy/paste using CNTRL+C for copy and CNTRL+V for paste :-

Add>\RPC Control\KSControlEp.Default*>OK - then :-
Add>BaseNamedObjects*\KSSettingsEvent*>OK - then :-
Click OK at bottom of Control Panel.

Open browsers with Sandboxie. The KS icon should show in the tray.
Orange = not active but ON, Green = active, Black animated = traffic, Red = OFF - RT click, select KS ON.

Browsers IE, Firefox and Chrome opened with Sandboxie will now have KS working perfectly.
This procedure should work with the paid versions of KS.

All done.
